I earned my degree from Utah State University; a dual major in Early Childhood and Elementary Education with an emphasis in science and an endorsement in math. The endorsements come from earlier declared majors of Aeronautics and Environmental Engineering. I finally found my niche in Education and have not regretted any minute of it. I taught kindergarten prior to becoming Assistant Director, and then Director at Odyssey. I have since earned a master’s degree in Educational Leadership and an endorsement in Instructional Coaching. I have been at Odyssey since its inception and love everything about it!
I love traveling and have been many places within the United States as well as abroad. But with all my travels and adventures, my favorite place to go is deep into any red rock canyon in south central Utah. My number one favorite thing to do is backpacking with my family! The canyons we go to are rarely visited by others. It’s a success when we end a trip without seeing another hiker! When I can’t fit in a backpack trip, I head up to the local canyons to enjoy the outdoors! My children have acquired this passion as well. We go into withdrawal if too much time passes between red rock adventures.
I have a passion for reading. My favorite book usually happens to be the one that I am currently reading. It is nearly impossible for me to walk out of a bookstore with one book (and in less than one hour). I dream of owning a library and reading hours and hours each day. In my spare time, which is rare, I love reading, exercising, yard work, going for walks, and occasionally binge-watching a Netflix series.

I am excited to return for another year as part of the amazing Odyssey team. I moved a lot growing up while my father was in the Air Force. I graduated from college with a degree in History. Before I settled at Odyssey most of my professional life was spent in hospitality management. I have been at Odyssey since 2006 and still love every minute. I enjoy the time I get to spend watching students learn and grow. When not at Odyssey the thing I enjoy most is spending time with my family. I have a beautiful wife, six children, and 3 grandkids.
I earned my BA degree from Utah State University (Go Aggies!). I began as an art major but eventually decided on a dual major in Business and Liberal Arts. I have been the registrar at Odyssey for the last 15 years. I enjoy working with the staff and getting to know the students.
In my free time I love to travel and have been fortunate to see many parts of the world. I also spend a lot of time in the mountains in my Jeep. My family is my everything and I try to spend as much time with them as possible.
I’m can’t wait to meet all our new students and families!
This is my first year at Odyssey and I am very excited to be part of the team. I can’t wait to meet and serve all the students during lunch time. I grew up in Venezuela and moved to USA 10 years ago to marry my high school sweetheart. My husband and I have a beautiful daughter and I enjoy spending time with them. In my spare time I like to exercise, spend time with friends, watch movies, read and bake.
I have been volunteering at Odyssey since my first child started at this wonderful school six years ago. I am excited to join the food service team and help out with the students’ lunch time. Prior to this job I worked in women’s healthcare for 17 years and loved helping and caring for them. I have been married to my husband for 16 years and we have three amazing children. I enjoy books, coloring, outdoor activities, snowboarding, kickboxing, sewing, and traveling with my family. I love to try new things and watch my children grow.
